Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch released his own DNA test on Twitter Monday evening in response to Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren doing the same to prove she has Native American ancestry.

Warren’s claims of Native American heritage have long been a point of contention between the Massachusetts Democrat and President Trump. The president has called her “Pocahontas.”

When asked about the DNA test on Monday, Trump said, “She owes the country an apology. What is the percentage? 1/1000th.”

Hatch’s joke did not go over well with everyone though. The Daily Beast’s Sam Stein tweeted, “When they speak of how the old senate had more civility, recognize that Hatch has been there for decades and does stuff like this,” about Hatch.
